Supported by pick up in demand in the domestic spot market, nickel prices moved up by 0.30 per cent to Rs 841.20 per kg in futures market Monday as speculators built up fresh positions.
Besides, positive global cues on easing trade dispute between the US and top metals consumer China, influenced metal prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, nickel for delivery in January went up by Rs 2.50, or 0.30 per cent, to Rs 841.20 per kg in a business turnover of 1,760 lots.
Besides the pick up in spot demand, a firm trend at the London Metal Exchange (LME) led to the rise in nickel prices in futures trade as speculators created positions, analysts said.
At the LME, nickel gained 2 per cent to trade at USD 11,820 per tonne, the highest since November 7.

Esports Disrupt How Brands and Events Engage With Their Communities
How organizations and events build communities is shifting with new digital networks and the evolution of how people interact online.
The culture and growth of esports represents a window into how these changes will affect associations, businesses, and the event sector at large. Â

How organizations and events build communities is shifting with new digital networks and the evolution of how people interact online. The culture and growth of esports represents a window into how these changes will affect associations, businesses, and the event sector at large. Â
No matter how boring and trite you may find the concept of esports
competition and culture, the hobby is on the forefront of a major shift
in the habits of how we consume media and interact in online
communities.
The event industry needs to adapt to the reality of how a new
generation of attendees demand engagement through a variety of online
platforms.
Fortnite, a video game wherein cartoon characters blast each other
with weapons and dance around, captured the imagination and dollars of
the world in 2018. For the extremely online millennial and Gen Z
generations, the game’s free online battle royal mode represents
something more than just a colorful time-waster. Since everyone is
online all the time, the game acts as a platform for engagement on multiple levels.
Interested in more stories like this? Subscribe to Skift’s Meetings Innovation Report to stay up-to-date on the future of business events.
Friends play and chat over the internet with each other each night,
earn almost random rewards that incentivize them to keep playing,
closely track the news regarding updates and exploits on websites and
message boards. They do this while watching tournaments and streams
populated by players who routinely dedicate 10 hours a day to mastery of
the game’s competitive systems. Kids may be dancing the stupid dances
from the game, but plenty of adults have embraced this style of
engagement with Fortnite as a platform.
It’s no surprise that the multifaceted elements of the online gaming
ecosystem are starting to bleed into the world of big business; Fortnite
publisher Epic Games
routinely holds online tournaments with a million dollar prize, and
fans flock to real-life stadium events featuring the best in the world
at other games.
As Skift has reflected consistently over the years, shifts in the
behavior of travelers and consumers begin in their personal lives; their
expectations shift as their habits do, leaving organizations to often
play catch up as old paradigms become ineffective.
Building Community
Social networking has undergone a reckoning as of late.
Facebook has become a cesspool of racism and misleading clickbait,
while LinkedIn is rapidly becoming Facebook for people who wear suits.
Twitter is chaotic and dense, making it hard to identify and join
communities. Instagram is style over substance, rewarding a motif that
everyone is trying to ape for increased engagement at the cost of true
value to users.
As the battle over online privacy has heated up, new players have slowly entered the social networking arena.
Slack, a messaging app for the workplace, has picked up casual social
users for communities based on certain topics while Discord, an online
voice and text chat service, has slowly risen to prominence as a
successor to old-school IRC (Internet Real Chat) of yore. As Instagram
expands the ability of organizations to sell tickets to events, also
expect the platform to introduce group and community interaction
capabilities and management tools for organizers.
The truth is that the explosion in online communities spurred by
esports has serious ramifications for the traditional events sector,
particularly business events and conventions. Keeping association
members engaged and educated is a complex issue, particularly in the
always-on digital world. How do you keep members engaged and satisfied
in a world defined by digital distraction?
Engagement is going to be limited even if you offer an app for your
association, group, or event; people want to be reached where they spend
most of their time, which will increasingly be in apps like Slack that
provide the ability for hundreds of contributors to chat, send files,
and more. The conversation is persistent and doesn’t disappear after an
event ends. Chatting with organizers and direct messaging between
attendees has been common for event apps for a few years, but lacks the
ability to facilitate communication, education, and bonding over the
full event lifecycle.
Dedicated message boards or LinkedIn or Facebook groups lack the
immediacy of live chat, particularly for those looking for timely
information or advice. Why wait until your chapter meeting to pose a
question? There is no replacement for real-life meetings and the
face-to-face connections they create, but digital platforms can help
enhance the overall event experience the rest of the time.
So often, organizers encourage attendees to post on Twitter or
Facebook from an event. Sure, it looks good for the organization’s
marketers that people are tweeting, but does it provide any lasting
value to attendees or the organization’s health?
Building an engaged community is more valuable than things like
Twitter chat or webinars, even if it can’t be seen by the outside world
as a visible marketing success. In particular, it offers increased value
to those who may not be able to attend a real-life event for whatever
reason, and those new to a group or sector who may lack the connections
to feel comfortable at an event.
Live chat that persists beyond the timeline of a physical event is
more valuable, a living and searchable testament to the strength and
power of an association or community. With digital communication and
content more effectively threaded throughout a physical experience, so
too will the overall event experience become more cohesive and powerful
for attendees. If stronger digital personalization really ever comes to
meetings, digital platforms will be intermediating the experience
anyway.
This will help thread the offline event experience with a persistent,
always-on digital community that younger professionals operate within.
It’s not enough to be relevant once or four times a year; groups need to
provide constant value and brain food to members, wherever they are.

Higher-margin consumption options are on the way — and so are added regulations from Health Canada.
The marijuana industry blossomed before our eyes in 2018, with the cannabis movement taking steps toward legitimacy like never before.
Sean Williams – Jan 20, 2019 at 9:06AM
The marijuana industry blossomed before our eyes in 2018, with the cannabis movement taking steps toward legitimacy like never before.
In the United States, Food and Drug Administration approved its very first cannabis-derived drug, and President Trump signed the Farm Bill into law,
legalizing hemp and hemp-based cannabidiol products. But of all events,
none offered more validity to the long-term cannabis business model
than the legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada this past
October. Although this legalization will generate billions of dollars in
added annual sales, it’s the legitimacy of weed now being legal that’s
worth even more.
Image source: Getty Images.
The wait for alternative cannabis options lingers on in Canada
However, Canada’s legalization wasn’t as broad-based as you might think.
Although dried cannabis flower, sublingual sprays, and cannabis oils
were legalized, other popular forms of consumption were not. This
included edibles, cannabis-infused beverages, extracts/concentrates,
topicals, and vapes. This was likely done to expedite the approval of
the Cannabis Act through Parliament, as well as allow the industry to
get its bearings.
One of the bigger questions has been when the Canadian government
would address alternative consumption options. Since dried cannabis
flower has been commoditized in a handful of recreationally legal U.S.
states, the expectation is that Canada will follow suit in the years to
come. This puts alternative marijuana products into the spotlight, since
they’re expected to have higher price points, higher margins, and be
far less susceptible to pricing pressure, than dried flower.
New consumption options are coming, but there are caveats
Recently, Health Canada helped put some of those questions to rest by
laying out its plan of action on alternative consumption options.
According to a rough outline provided by the Canadian regulatory agency,
and detailed by the National Post,
edibles, infused beverages, topicals, and extracts should be legal by
this fall, no later than Oct. 17, 2019. That’s exactly one year after
adult-use pot became legal for sale in Canada. Of course, there are
plenty of caveats to this product expansion.
For example, the draft provided by Health Canada calls for strict
caps on the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that these products can
contain. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for getting a
user high. The agency suggests that no package of edibles would be
permitted more than 10 milligrams of THC, with topicals and extracts
limited to 1,000 milligrams of THC.
Image source: Getty Images.
Just as we’ve witnessed in the U.S., there would also be strict
packaging regulations on edibles to make them less appealing to
children. Packaging that resembled candy or other foods familiar with
children wouldn’t be allowed, and neither would ingredient labeling that
would attract kids, such as sweeteners. The packaging itself must also
be tamper- and child-resistant, plain, and carry the standard health
warning.
Edible, topical, and extract producers would also be barred from
making any health benefit or nutrition claims on their packaging.
Interestingly, the one item left off the list is cannabis-infused alcoholic
beverages. Although nonalcoholic infused beverages should be legal
within the next nine months, those containing alcohol will have to wait a
bit longer.
These companies are champing at the bit for the green flag to wave
With few exceptions, this draft from Health Canada was music to the
ears of cannabis producers and ancillary players. Now they’re simply
champing at the bit for these products to be legalized.
Last August, Molson Coors Brewing Co. (NYSE:TAP) announced a 57.5%-42.5% joint venture with Quebec-based HEXO that’ll
see the duo work on developing and retailing a line of cannabis-infused
beverages in Canada. Molson Coors has seen its beer market share
decline in Canada over the past decade, and is hoping that the marijuana
industry can reignite top-line growth with a line of non-alcoholic
infused beverages. With Molson Coors’ expertise in marketing new
products, and HEXO’s intricate knowledge of the cannabis industry, this
duo is eager to diversify their portfolio of products.

Palladium held above $1,400 U.S. an ounce on Friday after surging to record levels in the previous session, amid tight supplies and robust demand, while gold slipped as risk sentiment got a boost from hopes of progress in U.S.-China trade talks.
Glenn Wilkins – Friday, January 18, 2019
Palladium held above $1,400 U.S. an ounce on Friday after surging to
record levels in the previous session, amid tight supplies and robust
demand, while gold slipped as risk sentiment got a boost from hopes of
progress in U.S.-China trade talks.
Spot gold was down 0.1% at
$1,290.51 U.S. per ounce, while U.S. gold futures were down 0.2% at
$1,290 per ounce. One official said the market is currently unable to
gauge the extent of economic slowdown, and that uncertainty is
supporting gold.
Meanwhile, spot palladium climbed 1.1% to
$1,411 U.S. per ounce Friday, having hit an all-time high of $1,434.50
U.S. on Thursday. The metal is on track to rise for a fourth week in its
strongest weekly gain since the week ended Sept. 21. It has risen
around 12% so far this month.
The price of palladium, used
mainly in emissions-reducing catalysts for vehicles, is up nearly 70%
since a low marked in mid-August. Prices for the metal overtook gold for
the first time in 16 years early in December.
However, spot
gold was set for its fifth straight weekly gain, supported by
expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may not raise interest rates
this year on worries about economy and uncertainties around Brexit.
Gold
watchers say spot gold is due for a sharp move, as its consolidation
within a neutral range of $1,285-$1,299 U.S. per ounce is ending.
In other metals, platinum rose 0.5% to $809 U.S. an ounce, while silver gained 0.1% to $15.53 U.S.
Inxeption, which began operations in 2017, aims to use blockchain
technology to improve various processes for businesses, including
product design, manufacturing and supply chain management.
Neither party has revealed the scope of the deal, which will
reportedly see Inxeption and the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund work in
tandem in future to develop new features for Inxeption’s platform.
“Business customers need secure platforms that protect their customer
data and proprietary information, while making it easy for them to
interact and even collaborate more effectively with their customers,â€
Inxeption CEO and co-founder Farzad Dibachi commented in the press
release.
Describing its product as an e-commerce platform for the B2B market,
Inxeption joins a steadily increasing pool of blockchain initiatives
focused on using distributed technology to make complex corporate
systems more transparent.
UPS CMO Kevin Warren stated in the press release that “Inxeption’s
technology is attractive to UPS because it helps unlock new efficiencies
for customers using B2B e-commerce platforms.â€
Supply chains have proved a particular area of interest amongst firms developing blockchain solutions in 2019. Several blockchain-based supply chain projects have been announced in the past week alone, as diverse as cobalt supplies and food for the upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
The Inxeption partnership reveals UPS’ belief in blockchain’s
potential, despite cautionary words from a senior executive last month
that forecast little impact from the technology in 2019.
“We have a small team looking at blockchain, but we are still
searching for the killer use case,†the company’s executive vice
president of technology and chief digital officer Linda Jojo told mainstream media in December.

Announced the signing of an Affiliate Marketing Agreement with GOLeague Int. Gaming, a multilingual esports league and community for the games Counter-Strike: Go (CSGO), PubG and League of Legends.Â
As one of the largest CSGO leagues in Germany, this agreement is another milestone for VIE.gg, the world’s first and most transparent esports betting exchange.
BIRKIRKARA, MALTA (January 17, 2019) – Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (GMBL:OTCQB) (or the “Company”), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announce the signing of an Affiliate Marketing Agreement with GOLeague Int. Gaming, a multilingual esports league and community for the games Counter-Strike: Go (CSGO), PubG and League of Legends. As one of the largest CSGO leagues in Germany, this agreement is another milestone for VIE.gg, the world’s first and most transparent esports betting exchange.
Founded
in 2017, with the specific goal of supporting and developing esports
throughout Europe, GOLeague is the first public league for every skill
group in CSGO and League of Legends, attracting 11,000 visitors per day. The total prize money for their upcoming season has been set at €10,000. As a result of this Agreement, the Company expects to add approximately 350 CSGO matches per month to VIE.gg for GOLeague users to wager.
GOLeague is working with VIE.gg on an exclusive basis for the following reasons:
The
VIE.gg P2P model is much more attractive because an esports fan always
wins, as opposed to a “house” model where odds are heavily stacked
against fans.
VIE.gg
is the first and most transparent esports bet exchange as a result of
Esports Entertainment Group being a fully reporting SEC issuer in the
United States.
Player
safety features built into VIE.gg create a fun but responsible esports
betting experience for fans. For example, players must choose their
maximum bet amounts when they initially sign up with VIE.gg. Any
subsequent increase to those levels requires a 30 day cooling off period
to make sure players do not get carried away.
The
recent addition of pool betting is a further extension of the P2P
model, which allows groups of opposing fans to wager against each other
when their teams go head to head.
Given
the fact some esports fans bet on esports, GOLeague users will be
provided with a safe platform that also supports the organization.
GOLeague stated “In
contrast to other German leagues, we are the only one who uses their
own anti-cheat system and uses it successfully. We therefore also want
to give our users the opportunity to bet on GOLeague matches, as well
as, Major League matches with the upcoming season. This will be realized
via the start page, an extra page with a sorted listing and under each
single match link. For the implementation, we need a strong partner with
the necessary licenses and age controls to successfully integrate this
product. We are happy to say we found the right partner in VIE. It
is important for our users to know that affiliate revenue from GOLeague
matches will be passed on to the teams. We therefore hope for a good
and long-term partnership.â€
Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports at Esports Entertainment Group, stated, “This
agreement with GOLeague is a big step forward for VIE, as it will add
hundreds of additional matches per month to our pools. GOLeague is a
true supporter of esports in Europe and we are excited about building a
long-term future together.â€

Announced today that, further to its Press Release dated January 7th, the Company has signed the >$1M contract for a 900 kW plasma torch system sale.Â
This contract was won in a competitive bid announced by RISE Energy Technology Center AB of Sweden. The torch is scheduled to be delivered by Q3 2019.
MONTREAL, Jan. 17, 2019 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation†or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its Press Release dated January 7th, the Company has signed the >$1M contract for a 900 kW plasma torch system sale.Â
This contract was won in a competitive bid announced by RISE Energy
Technology Center AB of Sweden. The torch is scheduled to be delivered
by Q3 2019.
PyroGenesis’ 900 kW plasma torch will be used to replace fossil fuel
burners in the iron ore induration (pelletization)
process. Pelletization is the process in which iron ore is concentrated
before shipment, thus significantly reducing the cost of transportation.
In conventional technology, the process heat is provided by diesel/fuel
burners. The combustion, in the burners, of natural gas, heavy oil
and/or pulverized coal results in the production of greenhouse gases
such as CO2. Plasma torches are therefore an environmentally friendly
alternative.
“This Contract not only underscores our expertise with plasma
torches, but it also expands our offerings into a very unique and
significant opportunity for the Company,†said Mr. Alex Pascali,
Business Development Manager of PyroGenesis. “You can imagine, as the
world gears up towards a carbon free economy, and Sweden is only the
first of many countries to do so, the use of high-powered plasma torches
with zero CO2 emissions will become a logical choice when it comes to
replacing fossil fuel burners. We already are speaking to other
interested parties as a result.â€
“A typical pellet plant producing 10 million metric tonnes of pellets
annually, emits about one million metric tonnes of CO2,†said Mr.
Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategist of
PyroGenesis. “Therefore, the total world pellet production of 400
million metric tonnes of pellets corresponds to the production of about
40 million metric tonnes of CO2. This represents a potential market in
torch sales of more than $10B worldwide.â€
“This is a very exciting time at the Company,†said Mr. P. Peter
Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Everything we announced is
moving along smoothly. Our previously announced partnership with the
Japanese trading house is beginning to bear fruit. Our other
billion-dollar partner, Aubert & Duval, announced that they are
targeting capturing 15% of the titanium powders market in Europe by
2022, and we are starting to take steps together in that direction. In
short, 2019 is shaping up to be a very interesting year in all our
business segments.â€
